Disturbingly, this has included pressuring the University to terminate her employment. Everyone at the University has the right to be free from harassment and intimidation. [2/3]

I am a transsexual, and I am horrified and appalled by the threats that are being made against Professor Stock.
Thank you for being prepared to take whatever action is needed.

Good for you. Parents and students looking for Uni places next year need to be assured that a small, angry and vindictive mob of bullies can’t control the narrative and police thought and opinion.

Thank you and well done. Please now take the appropriate disciplinary action with the lecturer encouraging this. Maybe he should be given some recommended reading....? I can think of a few good books to start

I hope you are prepared to stand by these words when you see this through to the end. Any threats of violence towards an academic *cannot* be tolerated in civil society.

It’s a strong statement but it is a bit of a maze as well. Be direct - declare unequivocally Professor Kathleen Stock has the backing of the university and this campaign to get her sacked is meritless and entirely vexatious.

You need look no further than to @FrancescoFv37, one of your own employees. He needs speaking to. His actions have played a large part in this.
